Product details
Overview
TLC352CD from Texas Instruments is a dual CMOS voltage comparator with open-drain outputs, designed for low-power, single- or dual-supply operation across 2.7V–18V. It delivers 150µA typical supply current at 5V, 5mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and 10¹²Ω typical input impedance-enabling direct interface with high-impedance sensors in battery-powered industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC352CD datasheet, TLC352CD pinout, TLC352CD application, or TLC352CD equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail common-mode input range (including ground), TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible open-drain outputs, −40°C to 85°C industrial-grade variants (TLC352ID), and pin compatibility with LM393 for legacy design upgrades.
Technical Context
The TLC352CD implements two independent CMOS differential-input comparators on a single die, each featuring ultra-low input bias current (5pA typ) and ESD protection rated at 2000V. Its input stage operates with common-mode voltage spanning from ground to VDD−1.5V over full temperature range, supporting direct sensing of grounded reference signals without level-shifting.
Output stages are n-channel open-drain configurations capable of sinking up to 16mA per channel at 5V supply, with logic-level translation enabled via external pull-up to voltages up to 16V-decoupling output logic levels from comparator supply rails and enabling wired-AND bus architectures.

| 4 | GND | Ground reference for both comparators and internal circuitry |
| 5 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of Comparator B - electrically isolated from Channel A |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of Comparator B - supports independent threshold setting |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single/dual-supply operation | Operates from 2.7V–18V single supply or ±1.35V–±9V dual supply - eliminates need for split-rail generation in portable designs |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 5pA typical - preserves signal integrity when interfacing with high-impedance pH electrodes or photodiode amplifiers |
| Open-drain output architecture | Sinks up to 16mA per channel - enables flexible logic-level translation and wired-AND bus configurations |
| Rail-to-rail common-mode input | Includes ground in input range - allows direct sensing of 0V-referenced signals without external bias networks |

Use Value: Open-drain outputs allow OR-ing of multiple reset signals onto single system RESET line without level-shifter ICs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Bipolar input stage; 250µA supply current; 2mV offset; no ESD rating specified | Limited to >5V operation; higher power draw reduces battery life in portable designs | Select LM393DR only when cost is primary constraint and 5V+ supply is guaranteed |
| TLC372CDR | Same CMOS process; 75µA supply current; 10mV offset; identical SOIC-8 package | Higher offset reduces precision in sub-10mV threshold applications but improves speed | Choose TLC372CDR when lower power (75µA vs 150µA) outweighs need for 5mV offset spec |
Compared with LM393DR and TLC372CDR, the TLC352CD offers optimal balance of precision (5mV offset), ultra-low bias current (5pA), and robust ESD protection (2000V) in a pin-compatible SOIC-8 package-making it preferred for high-impedance, battery-sensitive, and industrial-grade designs where reliability and accuracy are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the TLC352CD?
The TLC352CD is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade temperature specification makes it suitable for indoor industrial controls, consumer electronics, and office equipment where ambient conditions remain within this range. For extended industrial environments (−40°C to 85°C), the TLC352ID variant is recommended. The TLC352CD datasheet specifies electrical parameters under these exact conditions, and thermal derating is not required within this range.
Does the TLC352CD support single-supply operation?
Yes, the TLC352CD fully supports single-supply operation from 2.7V to 18V. Its common-mode input voltage range includes ground (0V) and extends up to VDD−1.5V across the full temperature range, allowing direct interface with grounded reference sources without external level-shifting circuitry. This capability is explicitly verified in the TLC352CD datasheet Section 4.2 Recommended Operating Conditions and Figure 5-2.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the TLC352CD outputs?
The TLC352CD outputs can sink up to 16mA per channel when VDD = 5V and VOL = 1.5V, as specified in Section 4.4 Electrical Characteristics of the official datasheet. At 12V supply, the sink current remains ≥6mA under the same test conditions. These values reflect actual measured performance-not theoretical limits-and define the minimum pull-up resistor value (e.g., 312Ω for 16mA at 5V) required to maintain valid logic LOW levels.
Is the TLC352CD pin-compatible with the LM393?
Yes, the TLC352CD is pin-compatible with the LM393 in SOIC-8 (D) and PDIP-8 (P) packages, sharing identical pin assignments for VDD, GND, IN+, IN−, and OUT terminals. This compatibility is confirmed in the TLC352CD datasheet Feature list and Pin Configuration section. However, designers must verify that the open-drain output behavior and CMOS input characteristics meet system requirements, as LM393 uses bipolar inputs and has different drive strength.
What packaging options are available for the TLC352CD?
The TLC352CD is offered in SOIC-8 (D) package only, with tape-and-reel option TLC352CDR (2500 units/reel). The D package measures 3.9mm × 4.9mm with 1.75mm max height, gull-wing leads, and NIPDAU lead finish. No PDIP or TSSOP variants exist for the 'C' temperature grade-those are exclusive to TLC352CP (PDIP) and TLC352IP (industrial temp). The TLC352CD part marking is "352C" per TI's Packaging Information document.
